The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has expressed confidence that Governor Biodun Oyebanji will win his election for a second term as Governor of Ekiti State in this Saturday's polls.
Akpabio made the remarks on Tuesday at the capital city of
Ado-Ekiti during the grand finale of the Governorship campaign of the All
Progressives Congress(APC) in the state.
The rally was also attended by the Vice President, Kashim
Shettima, the APC National Chairman and his team in the National Working
Committee, dozens of federal lawmakers and many APC Governors.
Akpabio, who is the co-chairman of the APC National Campaign
Council for the Ekiti Governorship poll, assured the people that he would
support and work with the Governor until the victory is delivered on Saturday.
“I will support you. I will work with you until victory is
delivered on the 20th of June, 2026,” Akpabio assured the Governor.
The Senate President said the people of Ekiti State are
known for peace and urged them not to allow anyone to steal their peace by
causing violence at the polls,.
The Senate President urged them not to stay back at home but
come out early to cast their votes stressing that “we want to see the quantum
of your votes so that we will know what you are going to give to Asiwaju in
2027.”
Akpabio explained that Governor Oyebanji was being supported
because of his performance and humility.
“We have come to support not just a colleague but a
performing colleague in the party. We have come to support a humble man and a
man who believes in gender sensitivity, who has picked a woman as a deputy
governor.
“We are here to support the women in Ekiti State. We have
come to support performance in Ekiti State.
“Who would have thought that a man could unite all the
former governors of Ekiti State. I have seen them here. Sometimes we don’t
agree with them. Sometimes they are not even in the same party. But they are
all here on the podium to support only one man. And the reason is because, that
man is worthy of support,” Akpabio said.
Also speaking, Governor Oyebanji said he had kept to his
campaign promises during the last election and made a further pledge to do more
if re-elected for a second term of four years on Saturday.
“Close to four years ago, we entered into a contract that we
will serve you. You can attest to the fact that with the help of God and the
support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
we have served you well.
“We have served you very well in the last three to four
years. You can see what we have done. These are things you can see, you can
feel and you can touch. And l make a pledge here today that we are ready to do
more,” Governor Oyebanji said.
